usDaredevil rocked. We both liked it. Our anniversary dinner at Morton's was another story. We arrived right on time, only to find out they were just starting to sit the 7 o'clock reservations.

Talk about overbooking… We ultimately had to wait an hour and half for our table.

The sales & marketing manager came to our table and profusely apologized. She also gave us a $100 gift certificate, which did make us feel a little better.

As usual the food was prepared to perfection. Lobster bisque, Filet Mignon, Lyonnaise potatoes and Lemon soufflé.

A late dinner, but a good evening overall.
